Retired Officers Try
Revolt in Argentina
Uprising Being
Minimized by
Government
Security Measures
Said in Evidence
Buenos Aires. Argentina-(UPP-Retired
military officers
tried today to spark a revolt,
with apparent navy support.
to block what they termed a
threatened Communist take
aver.
The government tried to
minimize the scope of the re
volt movement and described
it as a war of nerves. How
ever, security measures were
in evidence in Buenos Aires
and elsewhere in Argentina.
Rebels Warned
President Jose M. Guido
warned rebels that a joint
army-air force task force
would "undertake operations"
against rebellious naval ele
ments if they did not end their
"subversive attitude."
Hostilities appeared to be
confined to the air waves, at
least during the early hours
of the revolt.
A radio station at La Plata
reported rebellious navy air
craft had attacked a pro-government
tank battalion at
Magdalena and a communica
tions regiment near La Plata
because they refused to sur
render. Conflicting Claims Mada
The station claimed wide
spread support for the- rebel
cause.
The government iinrttScJate.
ly termed the reports "abso
lutely false."
Guido's reference to the
navy was the first official in
dication that that branch of
the armed forces was impli
cated in the call for an up
rising, described earlier by
rebel leaders over a seized
radio station as a "national
revolution."
The revolt's principal aim
seemed to be to block the
forthcoming June elections in
which the government is per
mitting Neo-Peronists to par
ticipate. Argentine Commu
nists have supported Peronist
candidates in past balloting.
House Approves
Traffic Measure
Salem HPP A measure de
scribed as a "major step for
ward in traffic enforcement"
passed the Oregon House 47
13 today and went to the Sen
ate. It is the bill for "arrest on
probable cause."
It means an officer could
arrest a person at the scene
of an accident without actual
ly witnessing the accident.
It is aimed at drunken mo
t o r i s t s found staggering
around at the scenes of acci
dents when officers arrive.
Officers believe they can
not arrest such persons on
drunk driving charges under
the present law. Thus, they
usually only are charged with
the far less severe offense of
being drunk on the streets.

Russians Launch
Rocket To Moon
Moscow - (UPn - The Soviet
Union launched a lVs-ton
space ship in a fourth probe
toward the moon today and
predicted that manned flight
there is now highly probable.

big enough to hold a man,
blasted off on a 3'2-day jour

ing the area in which they
live.
Elementary schools are

ard, Jackson, Jacksonville.
Jefferson, Lincoln, Lone Pine,
Oak Grove, Roosevelt, Ruch,
Washington, West Side and
Wilson.
Estimated expenditures
next school year total $5,061,
507.07, which includes the
general operating fund and
the bond interest and redemp
tion fund. The general fund
totals $4,683,457, and the
bond interest and redemption
fund is $377,600.07.
The budget represents an
increase of $427,278.75 more
than this year's budget, an
increase largely because of
additional teachers, a revised
teachers salary schedule and
the need for a minimum of
five additional classrooms on
elementary schools.

advertise for bids on construc

the site from Siskiyou sum
mit if the bid is approved.
Clearing Parking Area
Still in doubt is the possi
bility of clearing an area for
parking when the road is
graded and rocked, possibly
in time for the next winter
skiing season. Wiese said he
expects to have this informs
tion when he returns from
Portland. The road would be
passable then for the next
skiing season. He said he
would also have the road cost
estimate.
"There is no foreseeable
reason which would keep Mt.
Ashland from being a big suc
cess, Wiese said. I just don t
see how it could miss other
wise. It already has a captive
population ol 100,000 people."
The corporation would have
the ski lodge and one ski lift
of the poma-lift type complet
ed by April 15, 1964, accord.
Ing to its bid information.
This would include restroom
facilities, facilities for food
and beverages.
During the third operating
season, the corporation would
have a ski shop established
and expanded food and bev
erage facilities. It also would
have a black top parking area
.or di least 500 cars, a mini
mum of two T-bar and poma
lift systems.
The s k i shop would be
probably established the first
operating year and the area
could eventually have four
or more pomalift and T-bar
systems.

before he knows that It has

recent experience of Albert
Campbell, salesman for Lea

Campbell drives his own
car to work, then often
takes off with a company
car on a test run. He was
making such test run
when he suddenly noticed a
car in traffic which looked
just like his own, even to
the red dirt on iia sides.
He watched the auto, then
drove up beside ii. The car
was stopped and the driver
lumped out and ran. It was
than that Campbell realised
it was hit car and that it
had been stolen.

President Adopts
Suggestions
Of Clay's Group
Unusual Action
Cuts $420 Million
Washington flJPB President
Kennedy, faced with an economy-minded
Congress, took
the unusual step today of cut
ting $420 million from his
foreign aid request,. He also
promised stricter standards
and more thrift in the aid
program.
Kennedy, who had asked
tor $4.9 billion in new funds
in his January budget, cut
that figure to $4.5 bUlion in
a special foreign aid message
to the lawmakers.
Officials said that this, cou
pled with carryover funds,
would result in actual aid
spending of $4.85 billion. The
figure would have come to
$5.1 billion under Kennedy's
earlier request.
Kennedy adopted many of
the recommendations for
tightening up aid made to
him last month by a citizens'
committee headed by retired
Gen. Lucius D. Clay.
In a new proposal to spur
economic development over
seas through private channels.
tne rresmeni caned lor a tax
credit for U. S. taxpayers who
invest in developing coun
tries. U. S. foreign aid officials
could recall no case in recent
years in which a President
substantially cut his own for
eign aid request before Con
gress considered it.
Kennedy s proposals drew
a mlxad reaction from Con
gress. Chelrman J. William
Fulbright (D-Ark.) of the Sen-
ate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, said he thought the
message would be "received
with considerable approval."
nut Rep. Otto E. Passman
(D-La.) chairman of the House
Appropriations subcommittee
which handles the aid bill,
said that "If I had the differ
ences between what the Presi
dent asks for and what he
eventually . will settle tor, t
wouta oc one ol the wealth
iest men lit the world."
Kennedy said his proposed
cut would come partly from
IZOO million in economic aid
funds not spent this year and
from "a number of reduc
tions" In the earlier budget
estimates for military and
economic aid to certain coun
tries that can be made "with-
out serious damage to the na
I tional interest."
Makes Specific Pledges
The President made these
specific pledges for tighten
ing up the aid program:
To apply "stricter stand
ards of selectivity and self
I help" as n condition for re
I aeiving aid, a point stressed
ay the Clay Committee. Loans
will be "tailored" to provide
more businesslike repayment
terms for countries that can
afford it. In Latin America,
the Alliance for Progress will
"concentrate" on counties
that help themselves.
-To work for "reduction
and ultimate elimination" of
foreign aid by stressing pro
grams that enable nations to
stand on their own as "rapid
ly as possible. '
-To "secure increased par
ticipation" of other industrial
nations in sharing the aid bur
den, partly by direct urging
and partly by doing more
through international lending
tgencies, to which European
allies contribute.
-To continue to lighten the
balance of payments drain of
aid programs. Kennedy said
that under current commit
ments more than 80 per cent
of foreign aid funds will be
spent in this country. He said
countries which can are being
asked to pay dollars rather
than foreign currency for ag
ricultural aid.
The President said over-all
military aid to countries fac
ing an internal or external
Communist threat could not
be ended in the "foreseeable
future." He said some mili
tary aid programs could be
terminated, but others, includ
ing aid to India, must be ex
panded.
Orchard Heating
Continues All Night
The longest orchard heat
ing night this season occurred
last night as orchardists gen

11 p.m. and stopped about 6
o'clock this morning.
County Horticultural Agent
Clifford B. Cordy said some
orchardists lit before 11 p.m.
Heating was general, but
light.
"I doubt if there was any'
commercial bud damage,"
Cordy said. "Temperatures In
the coldest places hit 28 de

minimum reported in the
Ashland area was 25 degrees.
